What do you like about working at Zonar Systems?

"lots of travel, if you like that-rack up those FF miles. The work is not very difficult but can be a little repetitive at times although every customer is different and every audience has certain needs. Zonar provides ok pay but can make 45-50k with a good amount of travel pay and OT"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Always be on time, be prepared before you go on-site for training by yourself and take advantage of the initial training time that is given to you when you first start otherwise you will fall behind on your work and it can be difficult to catch up."

What don't you like about working at Zonar Systems?

"I am finding that promotion opportunities can be very limited. Also, even though the company generously provides free healthcare/ dental for employees, the cost to add a dependent is extremely high, around $5k/ year and close to $9k/ year for a family!!!! Ridiculous."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There are few key personnel that really know their stuff and it can be difficult sometimes to get proper training on products and troubleshooting help when there's only a few level ll employees that may not always have the motivation/time to provide assistance. Also, re-work the health plan for employees with dependents."

"Customer Care manager is an idiot. Wants to spend his time wandering and micro managing. Too young to be in his position, very immature and takes his aggression out on employees. His buddy is his 2nd in command, and very incompetent. Loses paperwork and forgets critical information. Management in this company is very hostile and demeaning. If you try to advance, they punish you for it. Technology is great when it works. You will only get ahead if you are part of the good 'ol boys club."

"I liked working there!If Zonar Systems would have another office closer to my house, I would definitely go back to them."

"Rapidly growing company with great people, great leadership and a focused customer care director. Products are not innovative but are leading the market with future potential. Long work hours are expected but rewarding. Lots of travel, fun experiences, and interactions with diverse customer base. Requires getting down and dirty sometimes with fleet vehicles but as long as you possess common sense and basic troubleshooting skills, it's never too challenging. It's a very demanding role with pretty good compensation and ability to transfer to many other positions within the company. I only wish there were a lot more training opportunities to learn more skills or accredited certifications but other than that, it is one of the best companies I have ever worked for."

"Company is decelerating in terms of product dev and market share, competitors are cheaper and better."

"The company has been bought out and is a typical large corporation"
